All That Lies Between

Description

Prabhupada in 1966. Some of the poems describe Srila Prabhupada’s dramatic journey to America in 1965 as a penniless, elderly monk equipped only with a trunkful of spiritual books, his knowledge and devotion, and the order of his guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, to introduce bhakti-yoga to the English-speaking world. These poems will inspire those familiar with ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada. Other poems give an intimate, real-world glimpse into the guru/disciple relationship, making the book a valuable reference for scholars of Hinduism. And the spiritual seeker will find a moving testimony to the reality of God’s consciousness and the potent, transformative power of a genuine spiritual teacher in one’s life. “All That Lies Between” is illustrated with exquisite pencil and ink portraits of Srila Prabhupada drawn by his beloved disciple Kuladri Das. The book is introduced by His Holiness Giriraj Swami, a distinguished author and senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada. These contributions enrich and add depth to the reader’s enjoyment, whether they approach the book as a devotee, a scholar, or a newcomer to spiritual life.
